About Bryan Allen

A career spent in the trenches of Texas public education — and a consulting practice built to give back what 20+ years taught me.

I have been an educator since 1997. That's not a line on a resume — it's the foundation of everything I do. I started in the classroom, moved into administration, and have served as a superintendent in three Texas school districts since 2015. Every challenge you're facing, I've likely faced it too.

I've led districts through budget crises and bond elections. I've navigated difficult board relationships and built new ones rooted in trust. I've hired and developed leaders, worked through campus safety challenges, and built school cultures where staff are encouraged to take risks and fail forward. That last part matters to me — because real growth, for leaders and organizations alike, requires the courage to try things that might not work.

Beyond my work in Clyde ISD, I've been privileged to serve in statewide leadership roles with the Texas Association of Community Schools, the Texas Association of School Administrators, the Texas Association of Midsized Schools, and Region 14's Big Country School Administrators. Those roles have given me a wide-angle view of what's working — and what isn't — in Texas public education.

I'm also the author of Called to Lead: 365 Days of Faith-Filled Wisdom for School Leaders — a daily devotional written specifically for the men and women who carry the weight of leading school districts. It's the book I wish I'd had in year one.
